Pole Vault 1,2,..etc.

Re: Crucifix

Hey powerplant I had another question, not enough to make a new thread about it, but if you want to vault above your hand-grip, is it all abdominal? Recently, I've been doing pikes and stuff in the weight room, should this do it?

Re: Getting Inverted

What do you guys think of this as an ab workout; I think it applies best to the vault. So you start out like you are benching, torso and head on the bench, but your hips are not on the bench. A weight is put between your feet and you pull your feet over you. O------o ========== \. Then... \ O-----o ...

Getting Inverted

I am sorry if there already was a topic about this. Anyhow, I am a sophomore in high school and have problems fully inverting. My coach tells me that I need more ab and core strength to completely invert because my legs compared to the pole are in V shape (the pole being one side the V and my legs b...
